Klezmer is the vivacious Jewish music, played traditionally at weddings and other celebrations. In the 1980s, new klezmer groups including The Klezmatics and Brave Old World wanted more than just to revive the traditions of the past but to once again create a "living tradition". They began to incorporate various styles, such as rock and roll, jazz, and even Latin music with age-old Jewish folk traditions. The Rough Guide To Klezmer Revival is a tribute to this remarkable resurgence, and features the giants of this ever-thriving musical tradition. Artists Include: Budowitz, Steven Greenman, Veretski Pass, Di Naye Kapelye, Kharkov Klezmer Band, Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars, Brave Old World, Joel Rubin Ensemble, The Zmiros Project, Giora Feidman, German Goldenshteyn, The Klezmatics With Chava Alberstein, Andy Statman
